WORDS MATTER!
Have you ever noticed how differently you feel when someone speaks encouraging words to you?
You can do this.
I believe in you.
You are loved.
Affirmations, or words we speak to ourselves, can have that same kind of impact.
I am capable.
I am strong.
I am worthy of love.
I have wisdom for the decisions I need to make today.
I choose peace instead of fear.
An affirmation is different from pretending that everything is perfect; it’s choosing what we will focus our attention and words on.
And even better, there is something very powerful about saying those words out loud.
This isn't a new idea; in the very first chapter of Genesis, we see something remarkable.
“And God said…” Again and again, God spoke—and creation followed.
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Proverbs 18:21 tells us that death and life are in the power of the tongue.
That is a powerful reminder that our words matter.
The words we speak to our children matter.
The words we speak to our spouses matter.
The words we speak to our friends matter.
And yes, the words we speak to ourselves matter too.
We have an incredible opportunity every morning to be intentional about the words we speak.
Before the phone rings.
Before the news comes on.
Before the day's demands begin.
Take a few minutes.
Stand in front of the mirror.
Take a deep breath.
Look yourself in the eyes.
And speak words that bring life.
Say them slowly.
Say them with intention.
Say them out loud.
Your words matter.
The conversation happening in your mind matters.
The voice you hear most often throughout your life is yours so make it a voice that speaks life.
